Mom of 3rd Culture Kids

Here’s a photo of my kids dressed as construction workers. This was actually taken at Kidzania Kuala Lumpur. Oh, my kids really had fun at Kidzania! Being construction workers was one of their ‘favorite’ jobs. They placed all the bricks one by one. It’s not real bricks through ( I think it’s made of wood) but they did learn a few things about construction since they had a little ‘talk’ before their work.  I’m sure they didn’t delve into constuction details and how to use concrete blades  , but at least they get to have an idea on how houses are built.

I will have to blog more about our Kidzania experience later. Oh, I have a lot of things to blog about this, but I just don’t know where to start.

My daughter has lived most of her life here in Thailand, but admittedly, she’s not that fluent with her Thai. That’s the reason why we let her have a Thai tutor who comes here in our house twice a week. It would have been easier for her to learn Thai if she went to a Thai school but then, we prefer to homeschool her.

Currently, she’s enjoying her Thai classes and the teacher only has praises for her.I just hope that she can fluently speak the language in no time.

We went out to the skate park today. We were there for about 2 hours. When we arrived back home, I opened the gate to let the car in but I smelled something burnt. I thought that our neighbor has cooked rice and burnt it. But on second thought, who doesn’t use rice cooker these days.

But the smell became stronger as I neared the house. Now, it seemed like burnt coffee! “Did youboil coffee before we left?”, I asked Hubby. But Hubby was already running to the kitchen. And yes, he did boil coffee and in fact, burnt it. But thank God that it after leaving the stove on for 2 hours, it didn’t burn anything. Our house was just filled with smoke but nothing else was burned except for the pot that turned black. Thank God!

Now, we just turned on our air purifier as the smell of smoke still fills the house. And this reminds me to buy a new filter for this air purifier as it has been 2 years since the filter has been changed. I wonder if beck arnley air filter ,can also be used instead.
